Forlì Cathedral, otherwise the Cathedral of the Holy Cross (Italian: Cattedrale di Santa Croce; Duomo di Forlì), is the Roman Catholic cathedral of Forlì, Emilia-Romagna, Italy. Formerly the seat of the bishop of Forlì, it has been since 1986 the episcopal seat of the Diocese of Forlì-Bertinoro.

History

The cathedral of Santa Croce existed as early as 562. In 1419 Pope Martin V ordered restorations that were completed in 1475. It was almost entirely rebuilt in 1841, with the principal exception of the 17th-century chapel of the Madonna del Fuoco; the sacred image contained there was formerly in a private house, where it remained unharmed during a fire.^[1]
